Nice avatar
The other day I collected the last flags from this season - 20cm snow. Your avatar makes me think of the spring when my feet can touch the bare ground for the first time. - That's heaven.....
Well, 1m powder snow, and I can 'fly' down the steepest hill, - that's heaven too.

1) Tasmod as also noted, and will be fixed

2) 01micko made an improvement to support several CPUs. - Must in some way not work for you. Let's see if Mick is around...

With the weather plugin you need to enable UTF-8, then you get the degree symbol as expected. i don't see this as a major drama but I guess a note in the gui or a splash should be apparent informing the user.

There is a bug I found with the Cpu_bar widget, the default config had 2 entries ( ), so with a uniprocessor you would get an empty cpu bar below the working one... but that is fixed in the plugin script now. I don't know if it will fix your particualr issue as you said there is nothing displayed James C did test it recently with 4 cores and it worked as expected. Try the patch please. (see attached)

akash_rawal..

Nice stuff! Sigmund, what we need is the pwidgets_background file to exist even when we don't have sidebar activated, that way there is always an image to reference in the correct dimensions (screen size) to process. Each individual widget will of course need the -G param to gtkdialog, and as akash said the only missing piece is a tool to crop the image. Maybe pnm suite can handle this? (Barry would know edit... pamcut!!! ). Already in Puppy..

The boundaries are limitless! You could display all the conky stuff with progress bars, except dynamic graphs (for now.. maybe a refreshing pixmap?), You can display icons in gtkdialog, any size, you could have a slideshow, without the flicker, widgets can be i18n'd for localisation.. who needs/wants conky?.

EDIT: The xwininfo code at the top is unnecessary as the size of Pwidgets_background is already the exact screen size and I found this easily with the 'file' command. I had little time this morning but will have some later to improve the code, maybe integrate the engine and make it useful, been awhile and I forget how the func file works

Pwidgets-2.4.0 and 01micko's post seem to fix the problems I raised in my previous post, except the Cpu_bar widget that, once Applied, still has a config file with nothing after TEXT so nothing shows. 01micko's pet did not appear to fix the loss of TEXT. This computer has dual processors.

However, I'm happy to fix this by amalgamating the RAM_bar and CPU_bar widget text entries with the Space_Puppy widget config so in the one widget I can see the file space, the RAM use, and how the two CPUs are running, all in bar format.

Opting for ticking the UTF-8 box of the start-up dialog removed the unwanted A from the temperature display of the weather widget.

Please try my picscale for scaling pngs (it is tiny - around 42k) and will scale your png files - and many other image types - without any additional dependencies http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02375. And picscale preserves transparency, which is why I wrote it in the first place.

Concerning your additon to the gtk rc file, I get the following message:

Others....don't be shy, we're still going, humming along nicely, with improvements being made all the time
Why not come and test Joe's bb2bbpress script that enables easy transfer of murga-linux posts to puppylinux.info
It is a work-in-progress, but we've set up a scratchpad to try it

Sorry for the interruption....carry on

Great job 01micko. The only concerned thing is a considerable overhead during startup ... but that can be minimized by using single window to draw all widgets. We can draw entire sidebar using a single window aligned at the edge, and then widgets inside it (goodbye ROX-Filer). It would be easier to write widgets too, as there's no need to write full gtkdialog code and GTK will manage positions of widgets in the sidebar.

But I have found a problem with xonclock:
Clicking on xonclock makes gtkdialog widget invisible, don't know why.

Yes, I see your point. Of course 1 gtkdialog process would be much more efficient but I do see a problem with the analog clock. You know it's probably possible to write a gtkdialog clock as we can refresh gui with the timer widget and have angled text in the latest gtkdialog by thunor. The only problem would be the clock face background which could be overcome by blending the clock face into the wallpaper/sidebar background.

I have actually integrated the transparent Search_files widget into Pwidgets not without it's problems though, but I'm getting close. It is an easy one though as the gtkdialog code for it is static in that no variables have to be parsed to get the widget on screen. I have added to /usr/local/pwidgets "func_gtk_trans", modified "func" and the widget config and script, and modified /usr/sbin/fixwidgets to kill process cleanly.. I'll post a tarball later.

Also, the Search_file widget inherits the gtktheme we set up, which is kind of cool, but maybe not wanted.
